PRESBYTERIAN MONTHLY

RECORD.

XXX. PHILADELPHIA, MAY, 1879. No. 5.

BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS.

It ought to be a matter of great rejoicing and fervent thanksgiving to
God that His people have responded so generously during the last month
of the fiscal year to the necessities of the Board.

Our receipts in the month of March were more than $90,000 — for the
entire year a little more than $277,000. But this leaves us with a debt of
about $27,000 on Home Missions, which we could wish had been entirely
swept off, but it is so much smaller than we feared, that we greatly rejoice
and hope to press forward with undiminished zeal.

The receipts for Sustentation during the year have been about $16,400,
and a balance still remains in its Treasury of about $35,000.

Our thanks are also due to many churches and many warm friends who
have so promptly responded to our appeals ; especially to the chairmen of
our Presbyterial committees throughout the whole Church. We have
availed ourselves of their services in calling the attention of the non-con-
tributing churches to the condition of our Treasury as we have never done
before. Their labors so cheerfully rendered and so successfully have
taught us where to turn if ever another similar emergency should occur.

KANSAS.

Wa-Keeny, Trego Co., January 3, 1879.

I herewith send you my quarterly report for three months ending to-
day. I have been fully occupied in preaching for these thirteen weeks. I
organized a church in Russell, on November 24th, of twenty-four members,
sixteen on profession, and eight by letter. There are at least ten or fifteen
more Presbyterians in the vicinity, and we may reasonably expect them to
come in.

These people at Russell are exceedingly devoted to our interests there.
They are already at work in trying to erect a house for God, and are meet-
ing with fair success. A minister must be had for Russell and Victoria
next spring. I believe in two or three years they will become self-sustain-
ing. In Wa-Keeny we are doing very well, considering all things. We
had five unite with us three weeks ago at our communion, and there were
five more to unite the same day, but the storm kept them at home. Our
audiences are much larger ; we have not a vacant seat in our room ; some
have to stand up. There is no other minister engaged here in the county
but myself. Our Sabbath-school is doing very wTell ; we have had books,
&c., sent us, and these were a great blessing. We are having meetings
every night for three weeks, and are very well attended. We trust much
good will be done. I preach every evening. I have started a subscription
paper towards building a place of worship. I have promises of stone,
lumber, and wTork, but almost no money. I thought it better to make a
beginning and do what we can.

We have had an unusually severe winter for this country. The thermo-
meter for six weeks ranged from ten below zero to twenty above. There
was much suffering, as very few were prepared for it. Scarce a day passed
but what we had to share out of our little store to others. It made our
hearts sad to see some of the suffering that has been here. We are now
having mild weather, and all are cheerful and hopeful. Kind friends
East have done much for us, and we shall never forget them in our pray-
ers. Our town grows every day. It is now a place of about one hundred
houses all told, and a year ago nothing was here. I presume there will be
at least fifteen hundred teams ploughing in this country in a few weeks, so
great is the emigration in here. I find the Board of Home Missions and
the Board of Church Erection very dear to the Christian people of this
land. Without them our church could not live. We will need a minister
at Buffalo and Wallace this summer. These are growing towns, and ought
to be occupied at once. I cannot feel thankful enough to you and all our
beloved church for sustaining us Home Missionaries in this new, frontier
land ; but it will repay a thousand fold.

Hoping that you can soon remit my salary due, as I have already drawn
on it with my friends here, and praying that you may ever be blessed, I
remain your devoted Missionary, James K. Wilson.

MISSOURI.

A VOICE FROM MO.

But why do you never publish any encouraging reports from Mo., in
the Record f I have seen several extracts from Home missionaries in Mo.,
but they tell more of the barriers and discouragements than of growth and
blessing. And yet I know there is growth. Here in Holt Co., about
134 members have been added to its five Presbyterian churches in the last

' 1879.]

four months, and there may be more yet this spring. And the working
and giving power of the churches has been increased proportionately.
Can Kansas, or Nebraska, or Iowa show any better record ? And we
have only two ministers in the county. With one or two more good work-
ers we might do even more next year. There are plenty of fields in Mo.,
“ white for the harvest,” if we can only get “harvest” men to work in them.
Bro. Allen does grand work for us, but he cannot do it alone. I think
you will see a good report from every field in the state that has a working
man, this year, in spite of hard times, southern feeling, and the prejudices
of our young men against coming to Mo. This state will exert a greater
influence, and will have more wealth in years to come, than Iowa and
Kansas together, and it is more open to real Presbyterian work to-day than
ever before. I mean the kind that works for souls and Christianity first,
and Presbyterianism afterwards, as the best system of caring for both.
Yours, Fraternally, Duncan Brown.

THEN AND NOW.

FROM REV- T. H. TATLOW.

Edina, Mo., January ls£, 1879.

Dear Brethren : — I herewith send you my first Quarterly Report.

The old year has closed and the financial pressure here is a little bit
heavier than heretofore on account of the very low prices — lower than for
thirty-five years. But these are matters of temporal moment. The spiritual
pressure is also a degree heavier than for a long time before. So heavy is
it that it is a burden to exercise faith ; and as “ faith without works is
dead,” so work without faith is like carrying a dead weight — there is no
“ let up ” about it. I have tried — I have held meetings in the three
churches, Edina, Wilson, and Knox City, and the faith was so weak, the
work so small, and the result so meagre, that I understand very keenly
what the Psalmist meaneth when he says, “ O Lord, how long?” I am now
nigh on to fifty years of age, and nearly forty of them spent here in North
East Missouri, and nearly twenty-seven of them in the ministry here. I
have grown up from a little child on this field, and I know and feel what
I cannot impart to any one else. Over thirty-nine years ago, when quite
a little fellow, at West Ely, Marion County, I saw H. H. Hays, an ex-chap-
lain of the United States Navy, and Ezra Styles Ely, D. D., Rev. H. M.
Field, D. D., “ H. M.,” (then his title), now of the N. Y. Evangelist, and
others. And they went out to look at a bullock that some one had given
to the Home Mission cause ; and they went out to say how much that
bullock was worth. Since then what? How much of the world that
“ H, M.” has seen since then ? And how many great changes and advances
he has witnessed since then ; but if now again he were on this side the
“Father of Waters,” and at the same place, he would see the same lit-
tle village, not on the open prairie as then, but surrounded by farms, and
farmers’ families ; he would also see the same neat Presbyterian house of
worship, and he would see the venerable W. P. Cochran, D. D., who lived
near that prairie then, and on it now ; and he would see the venerable
A. J. Dallas, “ Elder ” then and now , but he would see no advance in the
congregation or membership. And I ask, “ O Lord, how long ?” Is this to
be the record of all our churches here ? The population of the country has
greatly increased, and the number of our churches has multiplied, but some
of them, and they the oldest of them, how weak and growthless they are !

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The HABVE8T TBULY 18 GREAT, BUT THE LABOEEBS ABE FEW; PEAT YE THEBEFORE THE LORD OF THE HABVE8T
THAT HE WOULD 8END FORTH LABOEEBS INTO HIS HARVEST. — Luke X. 2.

FINANCIAL CONDITION.

The Board began the year with a debt of $9,866. After having paid
but three quarterly appropriations, this debt has been reduced about six
hundred dollars.

Contributions have for the most part come in so tardily, that the Board
has hesitated about borrowing funds to meet the payments as they became
due. The students have in consequence been greatly embarrassed by delay
of remittances. And their embarrassments have greatly perplexed, and
in some instances severely burdened the Guardians and Professors of the
institutions where they have been studying. To obviate these evils, and
if possible to secure some reliable system in this important department of
church work, the Board has adopted a plan regulating the contributions,
which will be communicated to the churches in due time, and for which
the Board asks the concurrence of pastors and sessions.

STANDING OF CANDIDATES.

Encouraged by the action of the last Assembly, empowering the Board
to withdraw aid from students wTho, after careful inquiry, are found de-
fective in capacity, diligence, and especially in piety, the Board early in
the year adopted the following resolution — “ That the Secretary be directed
to emphasize to the candidates under the care of our Board in the various
Colleges and Seminaries that the report of * Low ’ in the scale of scholarship
cannot be accepted as satisfactory, and that the case of students so graded
be reported to the Board for action.”

An examination of the Professors’ Reports reveals a very gratifying ad-
vance in the average standing of students as to scholarship. Of those in
the Theological Seminaries, sixty-seven are reported “High”; eighty-five
“Mediumf”; forty-one “Medium”; twenty “Medium — ”; five “Low.”
Of the one hundred and seventy-four in College, sixty-eight are reported
“High”; fifty-two “Medium]"”; thirty-one “Medium”; sixteen “Me-
dium— ”; and seven “Low.” Of twenty-eight in the academic course, six
are reported “High”; thirteen “Mediumf”; seven “Medium”; 1 “Me-
dium— ”; and seven “Low.” The remaining nine students have not been
reported.

OUR NEW CANDIDATES IN DEMAND.

As the question is often put whether more ministers are needed, the
Secretary has taken pains to collect information from the different Semi-
naries as to the destination of the members of their graduating classes so
far as ascertained. The answers received are of the most assuring kind.
In one instance we are told that out of a class of twenty-nine, twenty-three
are under appointment from the Home and Foreign Boards. In another
case, out of a class of eleven, eight are already provided with fields of la-
bor. One is a foreign missionary. One is bound to Texas. Four more will
probably be on the list of the Home Board. It is added: “Our graduates
get at work at once, and are not afraid to go where most wanted.” In
another case, out of five, four have their course marked out to labor on
mission fields. In another case, out of thirteen, four have received eligible
calls. Three others are assured of such if willing to accept them. Others
have the Home Mission field in view, and are waiting to know whether
the Board will be able to send them out. In another instance, out of a
class of forty, eight go as Foreign missionaries. Five are already engaged
in the neighboring churches. Of the remainder the majority have accepted
calls in different parts of the country, and a good proportion is expecting to
go as Home missionaries to the West. From the Board of Home Missions
we learn that there are calls from our new settlements at the West for mi-
nisters willing to go out, to an extent almost unprecedented. Ministers of
the right sort, so far from being too numerous, are in great demand.
Plainly the wrork of the Board is not done yet.

RECENT INTELLIGENCE.

Death of a Missionary. — It is with great regret we have to report
the death of the Rev. David Scott, in this city, April 2, 1879, in the
thirty-first year of his age. Mr. Scott returned from Persia a few weeks
ago with his wife, whose severe and continued illness, in the judgment of
her medical advisers, made this change indispensable. Though very low
when she arrived, she is slowly gaining strength. But Mr. Scott, who
looked perfectly well on his arrival, after a few days’ sickness entered into
his rest. His removal is one of the mysteries of Providence. His appar-
ently fine constitution, his character, talents, scholarship, devotedness — all
led us to expect a life of more than ordinary usefulness for our departed
friend.

Notices of Missionaries. — The Rev. M. N. Hutchinson has returned
to Mexico, and the Rev. D. J. Stewart, to this country. Miss Abbie D.
Cochran, a member of the church of Davenport, Iowa, has been appointed
as a teacher, and has arrived at Monterey, Mexico. The Rev. N. A.
McDonald and his wife have arrived at Bangkok, on their return. The
Rev. D. Herron embarked for India, April 5th, on his return accompanied
by his daughter, Miss Anna Herron, a member of the church of Sharps-
burg, Penna., who has been appointed as a teacher.

More Men still Called for. — The letters received during the last
month emphasize the call for more men in the Dakota mission, the mission
in Brazil, the African missions, the mission in Persia, the missions in India,
the mission in Siam, and the missions in China. In all these fields more
laborers are needed. For the Dakotas, a part of the Sioux, who are the
most numerous tribe of Indians in our country, being estimated at over 30,000
souls, our Board has but two white ministers, and one of these is now in his
seventy -ninth year. Our church was the first to seek the salvation of these
Indians. Two of the pioneer laborers are still living — Drs. Williamson
and Riggs. Their work has been largely successful. Some missionaries
of other churches have entered on their field. But new stations should be
occupied. Who wTill answer the call for more men? Equally urgent
pleas for re-inforcement are made by other missions. The removal of
choice laborers, mentioned in our notices of last month and this month,
adds a tender interest to these calls for help.

Added to the Church. — Mr. Hall reports the admission of eleven
new members to the Seneca church, on the Alleghany Reservation ; Dr.
Loomis mentions the admission of eleven new converts to the Chinese
church, San Francisco — nine men and two women ; Dr. Nevius, of Chefoo,
China, speaks of eight new converts, and Mr. Butler reports sixty new mem-

bers received in the Ningpo Mission during the year ; Mr. McGilvary
refers to the admission of another convert to the Laos church, Chiengmai ;
Mr. Seiler mentions three new converts received at Ratnagiri, and Mr.
Graham, three at Panala, and two at Kolapore, India ; Mr. Eddy reports
one new convert received at Tyre, Syria ; Dr. Nassau mentions one new
convert received at Kangwe, on the Ogovi river, Africa ; Mr. Houston
reports three new members admitted to the church of Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil ; Miss McFarren refers to one new member received by the church
of Bogota, United States of Columbia, and Mr. Wallace reports twelve
new converts received at Zacatecas, Mexico.

The Annual Reports of the Missions are mostly prepared about the
first of the year, and nearly all of them have now been received at the
Mission House. The accounts of the work as presented in these papers
form the basis of the Annual Report of the Board to the General Assembly,
to which we may refer our readers for many particulars, showing the con-
dition of the missions A number of the mission reports either have been
or will be printed in the Foreign Missionary and the Record. Two of
them appear in our pages this month. If room permitted more of them
would be given. In general, these reports show that a large and varied
work has occupied the the attention of the brethren, and that their labors
have not been in vain in the Lord. Considerable difference appears in
the number of converts reported in different missions, but in some of them
the returns have been most encouraging ; in all of them we hope the good
seed will yet yield an abundant harvest

AFRICA INLAND.

For many long years our churches have been trying to reach the 'in-
terior of Africa by their missionary agencies. Repeated efforts have been
made by resolute and specially qualified men to push their way inland.
The late Rev. James L. Mackey, of our Corisco Mission, fitted far beyond
most men to succeed in such au enterprise, being acquainted with African
people, knowing some of their languages, acclimated, energetic, concilia-
tory, admirable in common sense, was yet unsuccessful. On one of his
journeys he was accompanied by a gentleman, who was supplied by a
European King with everything except military force to ensure the best
results, but their joint effort was fruitless. The difficulties are partly
climatic — intense heat, often incessant rains, &c. ; partly the want of roads,
conveyance, food, &c. ; chiefly the jealousy of each native ruler and his
people, always unwilling to permit visitors to go beyond their towns.
They wTish to secure for themselves every advantage, real or imaginary, to
be derived from the presence of strangers ; or else their suspicions and
fears as to the object of such travellers impose an almost impenetrable bar-
rier to their progress.

Stanley’s grand journey on the river Congo, from its source to its out-
let, gives a new impulse to all Interior Africa questions ; but it does not
settle clearly the steps to be immediately taken by Missionary Boards.
One thing they clearly cannot do. They cannot send missionaries accom-
panied by soldiers for their protection, or what is equivalent, by armed re-
tainers. Another thing seems to be clear — they cannot send missionary
families far from their base of supplies ; nor even single men, ordinarily,
without reasonable hope of safety to life, and off sufficient personal com-
fort to keep off sickness and to supply their daily bread.

We are referring to access to the interior from the western coast. We
greatly honor our Scotch and English brethren for their noble efforts to
reach the great lake country from the eastern side of Africa, and we trust
the sad losses of life incurred will soon be followed by safe progress. But
for our American churches Providence seems to order the duty of entering
the dark couutry from the western side, in order to reach the tribes in the
western part of the continent, and especially those from which our
Africo-Americans came as slaves. So viewing the subject, our first duty
is to strengthen our stations on the coast, particularly Gaboon, Corisco,
Benita, and to form new stations when practicable, north and south.
Here is our base line of supplies for the present, especially for the supply
of trained and educated native Christians, who shall be ready and quali-
fied in due time to take up the line of march for the interior. Next we
should keep our eye on the rivers, likely to be the best highways for some
years. Our Ogovi station is a step inland. Other places on the same
river, and perhaps on the lower Congo, may soon be within reach. Vigi-
lant watch, moreover, should be kept on civil, political, exploring and

We think our friends would do well, as opportunity occurs, to urge on
the attention of our public men the importance of establishing a Protect-
orate over the river Congo, very much as formerly a Protectorate was
maintained on the western coast against the ravages of the slave trade.
Let our Government, Great Britain, France, and any other Powers, unite
in maintaining a few armed steamers on this river, and keeping open road-
ways around its falls. This measure should be taken, not for political
jurisdiction, nor for exclusive commercial settlements, but, 1. For the
suppression of the terrible traffic in slaves. 2. For the purposes of legiti-
mate commerce, open and free to all. The staples of industry in those
vast regions are very valuable; a great demand would spring up for manu-
factured goods ; free trade, profitable alike to natives and foreigners, would
be developed. 3. The expense of maintaining this Protectorate would be
small. Were this measure adopted, as we trust it soon will be, then mis-
sionaries and their schools, the printing press, the native church and its
well trained ministry, in short, the Word of God, the Gospel, would turn
this dark, suffering, long hopeless land into a land of light and peace.

These thoughts invest our missions in Africa with increasing interest.
We may not be able at once to send missionaries far into the interior, but
we stand ready to go in and possess the land as soon as Providence shall
open the door. And we trust it is opening We have some native men in
training ; we hope for many more. More men from this country are also
greatly needed.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MISSION IN JAPAN.

We insert this report in full, as it gives not only a complete but a well
condensed and clear view of the work in progress last year. * It was writ-
ten by the Rev. George W. Knox, at Yokohama, January 22d, 1879 :

We acknowledge with devout thankfulness the protecting care and
gracious providence of our Heavenly Father during the past year. He
has preserved the lives and health of His servants in this mission, and has
permitted us to labor for Him another year. He has blessed the work of
our hands and has caused His truth to be more widely known, and His
kingdom to be extended. He has been with us in all our trials and per-
plexities, and has indeed revealed Himself as a very present help. As
He has been with us and blessed us in the past we pray that He may
cleanse us from our sin, that in the future we may dwell closer to Him, and
learn more fully the lesson of dependence on Him.

In reporting the work of the mission, I find it convenient to write of it
as the work of the churches, the work of translation, and the work of the
schools.

1st. The work of the churches.

During the year three churches have been been organized and six church
buildings have been dedicated, two pastors have been installed, six men
have been licensed to preach, and Sunday-schools established. The Lord has

blessed all of the churches, and 225 adults, 44 infants have been added
to the membership. The total membership is now, adults 632, infants 78.
The contributions of the year, for all purposes, have been $1,487. A good
deal of this money has been for the erectiop of churches, and is. in some
sense, more than can be expected from year to year. 640 scholars have
attended the Sabbath-schools. 27 preaching stations have been main-
tained in addition to the churches enumerated above. This summary
gives the visible results of the work : Organized Churches, 10 ; Pastors,

3; Members, adults, 632, infants, 78 ; Baptisms, adults, 225, infants, 44;
Sunday-schools, 12; Scholars, 640; Contributions, $1,487; Licentiates,
6 ; preaching stations, 27.

The churches in Yokohama and Tokio have been under the direct
guidance of the missionaries, while Mr. Green has supervised the work of
pastor Toda at Hoden and Amori. Of course the missionaries, who have
to some extent mastered the language, have had the charge of this work,
but now all of the missionaries are able to preach at least occasioually.
The native pastors have earnestly devoted themselves to the work of the
ministry ; and the theological students, the elders, and the intelligent lay-
men have given efficient aid.

On the whole the church has manifested an earnest and Christian spirit.
Of course it still needs much training and grace if is to reach even the
low standard of the church at home. The past year has emphasized the
need of care and wisdom and grace in the training of the church, and has
again revealed the dangers that threaten its well being — dangers arising
from its position in the midst of heathenism ; from its history as so recent-
ly rescued from heathenism, and from the national character, so much
needing the qualities of patience and perseverance. But the Lord has
guided His people in safety thus far, and we trust Him for the future.
The union of the churches under the care of the Scotch United Presby-
terian mission, and the American Reformed [Dutch] mission, and our own
mission, has been most useful and happy, and the missionaries unanimous
in ascribing to that union only good effects.

2d. The work of translation.

Dr. Hepburn has devoted himself, in connection with the committee, to
the translation of the New Testament, and it is confidently expected that
the complete New Testament will be translated during the present year.
Mr. Thompson has been engaged with a committee in Tokio upon the book
-of Genesis, and eleven chapters have been published. As you already
know, in May last a general convention, representing all of the Protestant
missions in Japan save one, arranged for the appointment of committees
for the Translation of the Old Testament. Those committees are now
engaged in this work. In addition, various tracts and pamphlets have
been translated, thus increasing the Christian literature of the land.

3 d. The work of the schools.

In the Union Theological School at Tokio our mission has eleven
students. The reports of their progress and deportment have been satis-
factory. All of them have engaged in evangelical and other Christian
work as their duties at the seminary would permit. Mr. Imbrie has
charge of the department of New Testament exercises and the Life of
Christ, and has devoted much time to this work. Mr. Thompson has also
given lectures during a part of the year.

As in the work of the churches, here again the effects of the union of
the Presbyterian bodies in Japan have been most happy.

BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS.

[May,

Mr. Ballagh reports that his students have made more satisfactory
progress during the past year than at any previous time. Progress has
also beeu made in the arrangements of the school. A course of study has
been prepared and the students, are now graded in classes. The school has
suffered loss from its enforced stay in Yohohama. A considerable number
of students, including some of the most advanced and most promising,
have gone to other schools in Tokio. A strong desire to be in Tokio exists
among the young men, and the school will doubtless suffer more or less
from this cause as long as it remains in Yokohama. The interest in religion
has been constant. Twenty-one of the students and one of the assistant
teachers have been baptized during the year. During the last few months
the Christian pupils have been distributing tracts throughout the town,
and when invited hav£ stopped to talk on religious subjects. They have
also given valuable assistance in the various Sunday-schools. Dr. Hep-
burn's niece, Miss Leet, has given valuable and voluntary assistance in
this school, and Mr. Winn and I have taught various classes during the
year. The total number enrolled has been 110, and the average attend-
ance sixty (60).

Miss Marsh’s day school has continued as in the past, and in connection
with it various work among the children and women has been done.
Sixty (60) scholars have been enrolled and the the average attendance has
been forty-nine.

During the year the school in Guiza has been given up, oiving to the
action of the government, and Mrs True and Miss Eldred have been
associated with Miss Gulick in the management of the school at No. 42
Ts’kiji. The change was made with the best of feeling among all. Mrs.
True has continued her work with the church in Guiza in various ways.
Fifteen of her pupils accompanied her to Ts’kiji. The number of pupils
in that school is fifty-three 53). Of the family of forty-five (45), fourteen
(14) of the scholars and two (2) of the servants are professing Christians,
and some others have asked to be baptized. Miss Eldred and Miss
Gulick have charge of the instruction while Mrs. True has charge of the
girls out of school hours. The ladies exceedingly regret that their time
for study is so small. So much of their strength and time is needed in the
school that little is left for study. They feel this is most unfortunate, but
are unable to see how more time can be obtained with the present arrange-
ments.

Miss Youngman’s work has been among the 'women and the poor.
She has established two schools for the poor, where they are taught substan-
tially as in the government primary schools, with the Bible in addition.
She holds Bible classes for women, has charge of several Sunday-schools,
and visits the people iu their houses. By these means a very large number
of people have heard the gospel message, very many tracts and parts of
the Bible have been given away, and some have been sold. Several
trained Bible women aid Miss Youngman in her work. From these
classes and schools seven persons have been received into the churches. I
may add that Miss Y. has given all of her time to this work since Septem-
ber last only.

In conclusion. All of the missionaries have given much time to the
study of the language, and some of us have made this our chief work. It
still remains, however, a great obstacle to effective work. However all
have been able to do something iu the way of teaching or preaching.
Dr. Hepburn lias given up his dispensary, but about three patients a day,
on an average, seek his help at his home.

As to the general aspect of the missionary work in Japan I can hardly
speak. All of the missions seem encouraged and report progress. The
government, from time to time, seems inclined to make concessions of
various sorts But as to the great question of opening the rest of Japan
for foreign residences, I fear no progress is made. The Japanese are very
anxious to revise the treaties especially the ex-territoriality clause. But
the foreign residents seem unanimous in thinking the time for so radical a
change is still far distant. Until this is done, however, there is no hope, I
judge, of permission to dwell outside of the treaty ports, and we must be
content to work from these centres, relying on the printed word, on brief
tours, and on the native Christians, for the prosecution of the work
in the interior. The ancient distrust of foreigners still continues,
and is manifested in many ways in church as well as in state. If this peo-
ple could only walk alone it would be delighted to dispense with all
foreign aid. But the government is surrounded with difficulties, and the
political horizon is by no means clear. But as God in the past has so
wonderfully guided the course of events in this empire to His own glory,
and to the establishment of His church, we trust He will over-rule all the
plans and designs of men that His Son, our blessed Saviour whose right it
is, may reign triumphant.

Very sincerely, Geo. IVm. Knox.

MISSIONARY WORK FOR CHINESE WOMEN.

We insert here, with much pleasure, the “ Sixth Annual Report of the
Occidental Branch of the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society,” dated
March 1st, 1879. “The Home” for Chinese women, 933 Sacramento
street, San Francisco, is a place of varied and touching interest to many
of our friends on the Pacific coast, and to not a few of the poor Chinese
women. We commend it warmly, and also the record of kindred labors
by our Christian women, to the sympathies and prayers of all our readers

The work carried on by the “Occidental Branch” is a peculiar one,
and one of much greater magnitude, in view of existing circumstances,
than would at first appear. With a heathen community at our doors, sur-
rounded by the most bitter prejudice, not confined to one class of society,
it cannot be doubted that the little band who attempt to stem the tide
should sorely feel the depression. Especially since the late political ex-
citement has the financial pressure been felt. In view of all these adverse
circumstances the work of this Board has prospered, and “the good hand
of our God has been upon us.” The Home, the centre from which radi-
ates so much of the influence for good to the Chinese among us, is presided
over by Miss M. Culbertson, a lady who possesses so many admirable qual-
ities for the position that we are ready to believe that the “good hand”
guided her to it. The entire work of the household is performed by the
inmates. These is a school in the Home, for the inmates, which meets
twice daily. There is a Friday afternoon class, where the girls of the
Home are taught sewing in one parlor and the women from outside receive
religious instruction in the other. To these meetings strangers are
especially invited. There is a Sabbath afternoon Bible class taught in the
Home by a former inmate, now a Christian married woman. This is a
literal fulfillment of the Scripture promise, “ Cast thy bread upon the
waters and thou shalt find it after many days.” Another short Bible les-

son is given at twilight on the Sabbath, the day closing with family
worship. Thus the Sabbath is spent at the Home. Each Sabbath morn-
ing, accompanied by the missionary, ths girls attend a chapel where
services are conducted in Chinese. Since the Home was opened seventy
(70) women have been admitted; nineteen (19), five of them young girls,
during the year ending April 1879. Five inmates have been married
within the year, four from the Home and one from San Jose. Three mar-
ried Christian husbands, and one of the present inmates is promised to a
Christian man. We have eight Christian families.

Mrs. Condit, who labors so untiringly in season and out of season, spends
one day each week visiting the homes of the Chinese in San Francisco, in
addition to her regular work in Oakland. She has visited one hundred and
eighty-four (184) families during the year, held prayer meetings in ten
families, with an attendance of from three to thirteen. She has also gained
access to a Chinese school, taught by a most dignified and learned China-
man. Two hours each vreek she has permission to teach English. Upon
being asked what she would teach she displayed tracts, upon which were
“The Lord’s Prayer” and “The Ten Commandments.” The teacher ex-
pressed himself well pleased, and said he would consult the parents and
let her know the result. The proposition seemed to please the parents,
for she was permitted to take charge of the school for the hours specified,
with what result God alone can tell. A vacation of a month was given,
and afterward, for some reason not yet fully understood, this school was
not open to the visits of the missionary for instruction, but it is hoped that
her lessons may yet be resumed.

Another advance step has been taken during the year. Learning that
the children of Chinese merchants were being sent to China to be educated
it was determined to open a school for them. This school, which is in
charge of Miss Mary Baskin, is held on Clay street in the house of a
prominent Chinaman, and the classes in Chinese are taught by his niece.
Eighteen pupils are enrolled, and their progress is rapid. This school was
opened in July, and although none knew the alphabet some have read the
first reader through. They have learned numbers and writing in both
tongues and spell w'ords in two syllables. Fifteen is the largest number
ever present. They do not look upon it in the light of a charity, as
they pay heavy school taxes, yet all are not permitted to send their
children to our public schools. This enterprise was begun in faith believ-
ing that God would bless it So strong is the opposition to the Chinese
in our midst, that many who cheerfully contribute to send the gospel by
missionaries to China and elsewhere will not contribute to teach the
Chinese here. We dare venture no further financially, yet there are
hundreds of women that might be visited, and one thousand heathen
children to be brought to Christ in America.

WHO WERE THE WISE PHYSICIANS?

“ One day,” says Dr. Leupolt of Benares, “ I was preaching on the work
of Jesus Christ, the good Physician ; an old Mohammedan came up, and
stroking his beard, said, ‘Well, if you know of such a good physician who
has such good remedies, you had better administer them first to the English,
and then come and cure us. Is it the action of a wise man to trouble him-
self about the affairs of others, and allow his own to go to ruin ? First
cure your own people, and, when you have cured them, then come and

preach to us ; for how can we believe that you have the certain remedy if
so many among you .are sick ? Leave us, therefore, to ourselves, and care
for your own; and, when you do so, we will call you a good, wise and
kind man.’

“ I replied, ‘ There were four physicians in a certain town, who had large
practice there ; they went in partnership, two and two. It so happened
that a deadly disease broke out, and that the physicians and their families
were taken ill too. They had, however, a specific for the disease. The
people of the town applied to the physicians, for they were dying. Two
of them replied, “How can we help you? We are ill; our families are
ill ; when we ourselves and families are cured, we will come to you, for
‘ charity begins at home.’ ” They therefore staid at home, administered
the medicines to their families, and partook of the same remedy themselves,
and in process of time they were cured. When they had recovered they
said, “ Now we will look after our patients.” They came to the house of
the first, and asked, “ How is Khuda Baksh ? ” The answer was, “ He is
dead ! ” — “ His family ? ” — “ Dead.” — “ Sad, sad ! ” they said. They went
to another house, and asked, “ How is Ram Chanda ? ” — “ Dead ! ” — “ His
family ? ” — “ Dead.” They went to a third, fourth, fifth house, and so on,
and found that all their patients were dead.

“ ‘ Now, the other two said the same : “ We are ill ; our families are ill ;
what are we to do? Shall we stay at home, and let our patients die?” —
“ No ! ” replied the younger ; “ there is but one remedy by which the sick
can be cured. You must stay at home, and take care of our families; and
I will go and administer the medicine abroad.” They did so ; and as
many as accepted the remedy in the town were cured. Now, say who
were the good, the kind, and the wise physicians, — those who staid at home,
caring only for themselves and their own, or those who divided the work,
and cared for the sick at home and for those in the town.’ The answer
was, ‘Those who divided the work.’ — ‘ Well, then,’ I said, ‘we follow their
example. We divide the work; we have especial ministers employed to
preach to the English, and we missionaries come to you, and offer you the
remedy, so that we may be cured together. If you reject the remedy, you
will die in your sins, but we shall be free from your blood.’ ” — HI. Miss.

BOARD OF PUBLICATION.

THE FIRST SABBATH IN MAY.

We beg all our ministers and sessions to remember that the first Sab-
bath in May has been designated as the time for an Annual Collection in
all our churches, for the Missionary Fund of the Board of Publication.
We hope that all the churches will take prompt and liberal collections, as
the Board is greatly in need of funds for the prosecution of its missionary
wTork. This lack of means has compelled the Board to cut down its mis-
sionary work, reduce the number of its Book, Tract, and Sabbath-school
missionaries, and limit the number and size of its donations.

Should there be any insurmountable difficulty in the way, we beg the
ministers and sessions to take this collection on the earliest practicable
Sabbath afterward.

And let it be remembered that all contributions of churches and individ-
uals are put into the Missionary Fund and are used exclusively in carrying
forward the Board's missionary and Sabbath-school work ; in supporting the
Book, Tract and Sabbath-school missionaries ; in paying for the books and
tracts given away , and in defraying such expenses as belong legitimately to
this benevolent branch of the Board’s work.

AN APPEAL TO SABBATH-SCHOOLS.

On May 1st the churches, by recommendation of the General
Assembly, make their annual offering to the Missionary Fund of the
Board of Publication. This is also the grand rallying day for the offerings
of all our Sabbath-schools to the Sabbath-school mission work of this Board.

Some of our schools have already contributed nobly to this work, but
thousands yet remain to show their faith by their works.

If sessions and superintendents fail to arrange for a collection for us on
the 1st Sabbath of May, let them do so on the 2d Sabbath of the
month, or the earliest following Sabbath that may be practicable.

No cause appeals more appropriately to the benevolence of our Sabbath-
schools than this work of our Board of Publication. If our Sab-
bath-schools will not contribute towards this missionary work, who will ?
Nowhere can their money do more good than in organizing new Sabbath-
schools in destitute places, and in securing instruction ia God’s word to
needy and neglected children. So strongly wras our last General Assembly
impressed with these facts that it unanimously adopted the following :

“ Resolved, That it be earnestly requested of the Sabbath-schools of our
Church to contribute at least once a year , to the Sabbath-school Missionary De-
partment of this Board." (Minutes, p. 25).

We appeal to all our workers to respond generally to the call of needy
thousands, by sending to the Board Presbyterian Sabbath-school money
for Presbyterian Sabbath-school work. The board is just now sadly in
need of funds. James A. Worden, Genl. Supt. S. S. Work

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY’S ANNUAL SABBATH-SCHOOL

MEETING.

This important meeting of The General Assembly will be held on
Friday Evening , May 1 6th, 1879 in the First Presbyterian Church of Sara-
toga Springs, N. Y. The following persons will deliver addresses : the

Rev. F. L. Patton, D. D., LL. D., the Rev. Herrick Johnson, D. D., the
Rev. R M. Patterson, and the Rev. James A. Worden.

160 BOARD OF PUBLICATION. [May,

The Hymns used will be selected from the Presbyterian Hymnal, author-
ized and recommended by the General Assembly.

The prospect is good for one of the grandest Anniversaries of Sabbath-
school work yet enjoyed. We hope there will be a large attendance of
pastors, elders, superintendents, teachers and other Sabbath-school workers.

THE BOARD’S BOOKS.

The following paragraphs are taken from “ The Herald and Presbyter”
of March 19th, and are from the pen of its able and experienced Senior
Editor, whose testimony will have great weight with all who know his
well-tried business talents. They give a valuable testimony in regard to
the cheapness and quality of the Books of the Board of Publication :

“ Last week we gave an article by Rev. Dr. Z. M. Humphrey, in regard
of our Board of Publication, in which he certainly made a good showing
in favor of the Board, in the matter of its prices and the quality of its
publications. Dr. H. was for some time the President of the Board of
Directors, and has had good opportunity to understand and appreciate its
management, and fix a proper discount upon criticisms and objections
made against it, putting them anywhere, from par to zero, where they may
belong.

“ It is alleged, by some, that our books are higher than other publications.
Dr. Humphrey has settled that question. We feel called upon to indorse
his statements, and to add that the Board of Publication gives more read-
ing, for the same price, than any private publisher, and as much as any
benevolent society, and that the binding of the Board is better than that
of any book firm in the country. We speak what we know, for we are in
the business, and have been for years past. We have measured the books
and examined the mechanical execution.

“ ’Tis sometimes said our books are dull. That is a question of taste,
and very hard to settle. “ To the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.”
Whoever hungers and thirsts after righteousness will find marrow and fat-
ness in every book, we verily believe. It is the spiced poison in many
books that make them attractive to some, and many such books are in our
Sunday-schools libraries, selected by thoughtless teachers. This is a cry-
ing evil, and the talk about dullness is helping to increase it. If our
people had less spiritual dullness they would thirst for books contain-
ing the water of life.”

PUBLICATIONS FOR THE FREEDMEN.

The Board has recently published six 18mo. Tracts on Popery, intended
specially for use among the Freedmen in the South. They were prepared
by prominent writers who have long been engaged in labors for this class,
and who are intimately acquainted with its wants. They are printed in
large type and furnished at the lowest possible price. Their wide circula-
tion will do much to counteract the insidious wiles of popish emissaries, who
are laboring hard to lead this people from the simplicity of the gospel.
The following are their titles : None but Jesus, by the Rev. T. W. Hooper,

D. D. ; Mose the Sexton; or a talk about Popery, by the Rev. T. W. Hooper,
D. D. ; Christ in Front, by the Rev. A. F. Dickson ; What becomes of the
Second Commandment, by the Rev. A. F. Dickson ; Chnst is Head of the
Church, by the Rev. Wm. S. Plainer, D. D. ; The Worship of God, by the
Rev. Wm. S. Plumer, D. D.

PUBLICATIONS ON TEMPERANCE.

The Board has recently made valuable additions to its catalogue of
English publications on Temperance. Among these “ Old Portmanteau ”
“ A Good Name” Six Reasons for Total Abstinence may be mentioned.
New editions of several other Temperance works have been issued within
the past year.

In accordance with the direction of the last General Assembly the
Board has also issued the following tracts on Temperance in the German
language : Buy Your Own Cherries; A Thing to Cry Over ; Six Reasons for
Total Abstinence; Not Lost Forever ; Emil of Intemperance ; Words from the
Workshop; A Shot at the Wine-flask. Also, Buy Your Own Cherries, in
the Spanish language. These tracts are all of them valuable and timely,
and their wide circulation cannot but be productive of great good.

BOARD OF RELIEF FOR DISABLED MINISTERS.

' Whoso hath this world's good, and seethhis brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion
from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him f"

The Board of Relief has closed its account for the year, and finds that
there is needed a sum of more than $14,000 to make the work of the year
complete. The Committees of Presbyteries, Pastors, Communicants, and
especially the Delinquent Churches, are entreated to make up this defi-
ciency, promptly, so that it may not be thrown as a burden on the new
year.
